WHAT IT ISHOW IT WORKS“Shaping the ERA”

Broad consensus that future competitiveness in a globalising knowledge economy depends on research capability

Requires Investment in higher education and research institutions Access to first class research infrastructures

Coordination on European (and global) scale increasingly needed because Limited investment funds available Increasing level of infrastructure investments (both financial and in

human resources) needed to remain at the cutting edge Problems require broad data sharing and networking between

national nodes – distributed RIs

RIs are Innovation and skills hubs, not (just) big machines or big datasets

Importance of Research Infrastructures

today: ESFRI Roadmap 2010

Green: implemented, Red: 10-years expire on 2015, Black: stay on

• A quite likely scenario is only 4 sources operational in 2025• By that time the access is likely to fall significantly • Fewer large facilities means a loss of training & development functions

• candidate projects for the 2016 ESFRI Roadmap (2-3 max. per SWG);

• emerging projects to be mentioned in a separate part of the final report, not yet ready to be included in the “LIST”;

• rejected projects - projects that shall not be considered further for the Roadmap 2016 with detailed explanation for this rejection

The SWG presents an overall recommendation to the EB and Forum in the three categories:

ASSESSMENT OF MATURITY BY THE IMPLEMENTATION GROUP USING THE METHOD OF THE AEG-2012:

• balance between the thematic fields of the SWG;• relevance of projects for EU policies;• global dimension of projects.

The EB will present a recommendation per project to the Forum

Final check and proposal to Plenary Forum (step 5)Based on the A) overall recommendation for strong candidate projects from each SWG and the B) maturity recommendation per project from the IG, the EB will execute a final check on the following criteria:

Final decision (step 6)The Plenary Forum in fall 2015 decides on the status of each proposed project by attributing:‘retained projects’ resulting in appearance on the 2016 ESFRI Roadmap, ‘emerging projects’, resulting in a list of emerging projects complemented by ‘gaps analysis’,‘rejected projects’.

And decides the PUBLICATION OF THE

FOLLOW-UP:According to the 10-year rule we know that:

There will be at least 10 projects phasing out in 2017 making room for a ESFRI Roadmap 2018 update

There will be at least 6 projects phasing out in 2019, making room for aESFRI Roadmap 2020 update
